Post-Secular Religion and Society in Türkiye: The Case of Kübra Series
摘要
The concept of post-secularism, which involves questioning secular claims, embodies the search for coexistence among different elements. It questions how radical religious and radical secular elements can live together. In other words, it seeks areas of reconciliation between secular means and religious identities. This consensus is even more important for a rapidly developing and religious society like Türkiye. Because it has the potential to reveal a unique model. In this context, the concept of post-secularism can offer new insights into the interaction between artificial intelligence technologies and religious identities. In this chapter, the impact of artificial intelligence on religious identities and its appearance in the media will be discussed in the context of the concept of post-secularism. In this discussion, the TV series KÜBRA, which deals with a religious group guided by artificial intelligence, will be chosen as a case study. Through its subject, content, and scenario, this discussion will explore the kind of contributions the series will make to the discussions on post-secularism.
